Con el objetivo de reconstruir el paisaje geomorfológico de finales del cuaternario y comienzos del Holoceno, se ha utilizado gvSIG y sextante para intentar establecer el paisaje a partir de los datos de campoarquelógicos y geomorfológicos recogidos durante una veintena de años en la cuenca media y alta del río Serpis. La evolución cuaternaria es la historia de un vaciado (erosión + denudación) de los valles del curso alto y medio del Serpis, con algunas interrupciones (fases de sedimentación). Testigos de dicha evolución son las terrazas fluviales adscritas por nosotros a diversos periodos del Cuaternario. La combinación de métodos tradicionales y el trabajo con el uso de herramientas SIG se ha mostrado una poderosa herramienta para modelizar el paisaje antiguo. Previo al trabajo de modelización existe un conocimiento geomorfológico yarqueológico territorial de la zona, producto de años de interpretación estereoscópica de foto aérea, trabajo de campo y análisis de laboratorio. La experiencia en la zona de investigación es imprescindible para el control y calibrado de los resultados parciales y de los diferentes MDTs obtenidos con gvSIG. Para la reconstrucción del paisaje geomorfológico se buscan aquellas partes del terreno que cumplen tres requisitos: a) ser bastante llanas (ligera pendiente en el sentido del flujo), b) una determinada altura sobre el cauce – ésta varía en el seno de la cuenca del Serpis, siendo de unos + 20 m en el curso medio y mayor en el alto, y c) próxima al cauce. A partir del MDT se establece la red de drenaje (actual) de orden 2 (Strahler, 1952, 1957). Se elabora la capa de pendientes la de elevación sobre el cauce y un buffer de 125 m entorno a la red de drenaje de orden 2 a 6

The paludal deposits presented here belong to a geomorphological unit identified between Palafrugell Corridor and the littoral plains of Ter River (Baix Ter), associated to a carbonate-rich spring system. The sections show a distintic clay level, mixed with black silts, very rich in snail remains. The malacological assemblage contained stillwaters species (Bithynia leachii, Galba truncatula, Pisidium milium, Radix peregra) along with damp species (Monacha cartusiana, Oxyloma elegans, Succinea putris, Succinella oblonga, Vallonia pulchella, Vertigo sp.). Some open-dry species are also present (Cernuella virgata, Eobania vermiculata, Pomatias elegans, Rumina decollata) revailing a mosaic-like landscape. Radiocarbon dates place this level ca. 7.000BPwithin the Holocene sequence of the Baix Ter basin. Colluvial deposits on top of these paludal levels have a typical open-dry malacological assemblage (Cernuella virgata, Cochlicella acuta, Eobania vermiculata, Pomatias elegans, Rumina decollata, Trochoidea elegans) the same assemblage that inhabits the Empordà littoral plains nowadays

The Reclau Caves, which form part of the Serinyà Prehistoric Caves Park (Pla de l’Estany, Girona), are shelters formed by waterfall travertines which have been in turn affected by karstification phenomena. Though relatively small, these cavities were big enough to held human occupation. Its evolution has seen the falling of blocks and infilling of terrigenous materials. Thus, the caves were completely filled and had most of their original roofs fallen. The first excavations of these caves were made in the mid 1940s and they continued, albeit with some interruptions, until present times. The caves were occupied by humans since the late Middle Pleistocene until the Holocene. Hence, the main occupation periods can be attributed to the Middle Paleolithic and Upper Paleolithic cultures. Given the existence of these sites, the project of an archeological park was started and its first phase opened to the public in the summer of 1997. The creation of this park has led to the protection of the three main caves of the site (Arbreda, Mollet and Reclau Viver Caves). The caves have also been adapted and singposted to open them to the public. Other facilities of the park include a reception building and an activity area. The caves can be visited in guided tours which include the projection of a film, the visit to the permanent exhibition room, the three main caves and the participation in some prehistoric-related activities
